Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cofactors were released from each preparation of IscS and IscSQ183P as described previously (15 (link), 17 (link), 29 (link)). KOH (30 mM final concentration) was added to 1.5 nmol purified protein in a 100 μL reaction and incubated at room temperature for 10 min. Protein was then precipitated with 10% trifluoroacetic acid (30 μL), resulting in a final volume of 130 μL. The precipitate was removed by centrifugation (17,000 × g for 3 min) and the supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 μm centrifugal tube filter (Costar 8170). Cofactors were separated by HPLC using a Shimadzu HPLC equipped with a Luna C18 column (Phenomenex) using a two-step isocratic method with a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min: 0 to 5 min with 100% buffer A (0.06% vol/vol trifluoroacetic acid) and 5 to 18 min with methanol and buffer A (3:97). The column was washed with methanol and buffer A (60:40) for 10 min between each run. Eluant was monitored at 305 nm using a photodiode array detector (Shimadzu SPD-M20A). Authentic PLP and pyruvate/PLP were used as standards to allow peak assignment. Pyruvate/PLP was synthesized as described previously (46 (link)), purified by HPLC, and concentrated.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To compare
electro-activated
calcium lactate and calcium ascorbate solutions to standard lactic
acid and ascorbic acid, a high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC)
(Phenomenex, Inc., Torrance) assembled with a column, a pumping device,
a UV–vis detector, and chromatographic software, was used to
perform the analyses. The chromatographic elution (separation) was
done through a Kinetex column (Phenomenex, Inc., Torrance), measuring
150 × 4.6 mm2. Hence, the isocratic mobile phase was
composed of 20 mM (v/v) potassium phosphate monobasic (KH2PO4) with a pH of 1.59, flowing through the column at
a rate of 1.25 mL/min. Then, the analysis was performed by injecting
into the column the samples (EAS and standard acids), and the absorbance
was measured using a UV–vis detector previously adjusted at
210 nm. All of the analyses were performed at room temperature (22
± 1 °C), and the retention time and curves of the samples
were recorded for interpretation.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peptides were made on a CEM Liberty Blue instrument using standard solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) with Fmoc-protected amino acids, as previously reported.3 (link) Peptides were synthesized at a 0.1 mmol scale on Rink-Amide resin (0.57 mmol/g). Deprotection steps were performed in 20% piperidine in dimethyl formamide (DMF). Coupling was carried out using N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), Oxyma, and Fmoc-protected amino acids at 5 mol equiv to the resin. All peptides were capped using acetic anhydride and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA). Peptides were cleaved from the resin in a 10 mL solution of a 95:2.5:2.5 ratio of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), triisopropylsilane (TIPS), and water. The peptide was precipitated from the cleavage solution using 40 mL of cold diethyl ether. The precipitate was centrifuged, and the supernatant was discarded. The peptide pellets were dissolved in a 70:30 mixture of water and acetonitrile with 0.1% TFA for purification. All peptides were purified by reverse phase chromatography on a Waters HPLC with a C18 Phenomenex column using a linear gradient of buffer B (acetonitrile + 0.1% TFA) in buffer A (water + 0.1% TFA) at a rate of a 1.5% increase in buffer B per min. Peptide identity and purity were confirmed via MALDI-TOF MS on an AB SCIEX 4800 MALDI TOF/TOF using a matrix of α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid matrix (Sigma).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synthetic ginsentide TP1 was synthesized by Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis on 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin as previously described16 (link). The linear precursor peptide was cleaved using a cocktail consisting of 92.5% TFA, 2.5% H2O, 2.5% 1,2-ethanedithiol, and 2.5% triisopropylsilane at room temperature for 30 min followed by precipitation with diethyl ether. The crude cleavage product was folded in 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), 90% 0.1 mol/L NH4HCO3 (pH 8), cystamine (10 equivalents), and cysteamine (100 equivalents) for overnight at 4 °C. Folded ginsentide TP1 was purified by preparative HPLC (250 mm × 21 mm, 5 μm; Phenomenex, USA). A linear gradient of mobile phase A (0.1% TFA in H2O) and mobile phase B (0.1% TFA in ACN) was used. The folded ginsentide TP1was identified using MALDI-TOF MS. The folding yield was approximately 30%. RP-HPLC and 2-dimensional-nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR) were performed to compare the physical properties of synthetic ginsentide TP1 to its native form (Supporting Information Figs. S1 and S2).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As a substrate for the CPK kinases we used the CLC-a peptide (QPLLLKRHRTLSSTPLA; phosphorylated T underlined) synthesized by GL Biochem (Shanghai). Phosphorylation of peptide was performed by incubating 100 μM peptide for 1 h at 30 °C together with 0.2 μM of recombinant kinase in the presence of 1 mM MgATP in phosphorylation reaction buffer: 20 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.4), 20 mM MgCl 2 , 1 mM DTT, 25 mM β-glycerophosphate, 100 μM CaCl 2 and 1 mM ATP), final volume 100 μl. In the phosphorylation buffer, the EGTA concentration was 1 mM and the amount of total CaCl 2 to be added was calculated using the WEBMXC extended website (http://www.stanford.edu/ ∼cpatton/oprog.htm) to obtain the defined free Ca 2+ concentrations in the reaction. For separation of the phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptides a Shimadzu HPLC with a C18 column (250 × 4.60 mm, 5 μm, Phenomenex) and a water/acetonitrile gradient from 0 to 10% for 5 min, from 10 to 40% for 30 min was used. The flow rate was 1 ml/min and peptides were detected at 220 nm. At least three biological replicates were performed for each treatment except for CPK23 which was performed twice.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The melatonin content in leaves of both varieties was determined according to Arnao and Hernández-Ruiz (2009) (link) with minor modifications. The fresh leaves (100 mg) were cut into small pieces and placed into vials containing 1 ml chloroform followed by overnight shaking at 4°C in the dark. The solvent was evaporated at 4°C under N2 gas and the remnant was dissolved in 100 µl acetonitrile followed by a 0.2-micron polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane filtration. The melatonin content in the two varieties was quantified using the Shimadzu High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (Kyoto, Japan) and a C-18 column (Phenomenex KINETEX 250 mm X 4.6 mm). An excitation wavelength of 280 nm and the isocratic mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (50:50) at a flow rate of 0.2 L/min were used for detection. Pure melatonin (Sigma Aldrich, U.S.A.) was used as a standard.
